UPDATE: Bear

By

We thought we would give everyone an update on Bear! He has been with us for about six weeks, and is gaining weight steadily!  Last week we finished up his vaccinations, and he was very good for all of them. We did not have his teeth done, as the vet said that they were OK for now, but we will check them again in about six months to make sure.  Our vet did suggest that he be switched from hay to hay pellets, however, so he is now eating alfalfa hay pellets in addition to his grain. Last month … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Ruby

By

Ruby has been at Hanaeleh for a few months now, so we thought we'd share about how well she is doing.  We did move her down with Tamahome for a few weeks, but she really did not enjoy being in the lower stall with him, so we moved her back up into a stall next to Ulysses and Rio, and she's much calmer and happier.  In fact, she is quite in love with Ulysses, and calls for him when he is turned out.

Sapphire was adopted out last June to a very loving family down in San Diego. Unfortunately, Sapphire just was not the … [Read more...]

Magellan the Sheep We are so very sorry to announce the passing of Magellan, one of our Babydoll sheep. Magellan was about 15 years old and was having difficulty moving around due to arthritis.
